Grass-fed tallow carries the same fats your skin is built from. We whip it into balms of five ingredients or fewer.
Yes, it's tallow. Here's how it actually feels.
Absorbs in ~60 seconds
Press a little into damp skin and it sinks in within a minute. No film sitting on top, nothing to wipe off before bed.
A faint, natural scent
Pure & Unscented adds no fragrance. Just a soft, barely-there warmth that's gone within minutes.
Made for sensitive skin
Three ingredients, no water, made for skin that reacts to most things. Rated very low for irritation risk.
A little goes a long way
A rice-grain amount covers your face. One jar tends to last most people about three months.

Made in the Netherlands in small batches.
5 or fewer ingredients
No fillers and no synthetic fragrance. Ever.
The best care is the kind you eventually don't need anymore.
We keep it to five ingredients or fewer: grass-fed tallow, a little olive oil, raw honey. No water, so no preservatives, no synthetic fragrance. Give your skin less to react to, and it starts handling more on its own.
Pourquoi le suif
Tallow is purified beef fat, strikingly close to the fats in your own skin. That's why it melts in within about a minute and leaves dry, overworked skin feeling soft and cushioned, with the shine gone fast.

Grass-fed beef tallow, nothing wasted.
The fear with tallow fades once you know what's in it. Ours starts with 100% natural grass-fed beef tallow, rendered at low temperature and filtered for a clean, neutral base, then whipped. Never watered down.

Ich bin über eine Empfehlung in meiner Community auf HolyFat gestoßen und mag vor allem die Barrier Cream. Sie fühlt sich fluffig an, zieht bei mir angenehm ein und hilft besonders bei trockene Partien durch Heizungsluft. Für mich macht auch die fluffige, weich geschlagene Textur einen großen Unterschied.
Sehr angenehme Creme für sensible Haut. Ich nutze sie abends bei Haut, die nach Retinal schnell Unterstützung brauchte und Meine Haut fühlt sich wieder ruhiger und ausgeglichener an.
Ich habe die Barrier Cream weil mich das reduzierte Konzept angesprochen hat entdeckt, als meine Haut gerade ziemlich aus dem Gleichgewicht war. Viele Produkte haben bei mir eher gebrannt oder waren mir zu viel. Diese Creme war dagegen von Anfang an angenehm.
Made for the dryness you're actually dealing with.
Winter dryness
Overworked skin
Sensitive & reactive
"We kept reading thirty-ingredient labels for skin that only ever got more reactive. So we stripped it back to what skin recognises: tallow, and almost nothing else. Then we made it in batches small enough to stand behind."
